Summary

In this episode of The ReidOut, Joy Reid analyzes Donald Trump apparently saying he will be a "day one" American dictator, whose plans for a second presidency, critics say, are right out of the playbook of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro: seek vengeance against your opponents, muzzle the press, and call off elections. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen joins Joy with more. Plus, we cover new reporting on the almost 200-person witness list in Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case, including Mike Pence, Bill Barr, and Steve Bannon. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
